OK.  I choose apples.

Actually, my question was serious.  SLOC has been bad-mouthed since *at
least* 1970.  The problem is that I haven't heard of anything better.
Function points was once suggested, but that was designed for COBOL and
most people like it less than SLOC.

I can go on and on detailing the problems with SLOC as a measure of
productivity.  However, it *is* a better measure than nothing.  I just
have not heard of anything better.
